E. COLI AMINOPEPTIDASE A (PEPA)
Overview
The structure of aminopeptidase A (PepA), which functions as a DNA-binding, protein in Xer site-specific recombination and in transcriptional control, of the carAB operon in Escherichia coli, has been determined at 2.5 A, resolution. In Xer recombination at cer, PepA and the arginine repressor, (ArgR) serve as accessory proteins, ensuring that recombination is, exclusively intramolecular. In contrast, PepA homologues from other, species have no known DNA-binding activity and are not implicated in, transcriptional regulation or control of site-specific recombination. PepA, comprises two domains, which have similar folds to the two domains of, bovine lens leucine aminopeptidase (LAP). However, the N-terminal domain, of PepA, which probably plays a significant role in DNA binding, is, ... [(full description)]
